Quotations
Suffering

-Mother Teresa
Suffering is a journey which has an end.
-Matthew Fox
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
-Tennessee Williams
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
-Woody Allen
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceburg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
